David Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 1 hour ago, BomberPat said: in Jersey, a local politician Tweeted out a photo from the emergency planning meeting at the hospital - accidentally including a picture of the slide with the worst case scenario mortality rates on it. So that's fun, and pretty much tells everyone who sees it that we're woefully ill-equipped to deal with it. The thing is, considering the different forms these viruses can take, the differing effects they can have, along with a million other factors, is there any real way to be equipped for it? Even this one particular type of virus has many strains, doesn't it? How can we expect any government to be prepared for any number of literally millions of possibilities? Sometimes it's just the case that when something like this strikes you can't get ahead of it. How could we have planned for this, say, six months ago? It's impossible. Everyone loves the international world we live in today, where we can all travel and work all over the world, yet when something like this happens we want assurances that it'll all be okay. Well, we can't get those assurances, and while we have the politicians using the virus as a political football, the truth is there's not much we can really do except try to ride it out and get a handle on it as best we can.

Mate, nowhere is prepared for this. Even the much-loved Norway is scrambling. Japan are reported to be providing figures that don't reflect the real impact it's had there either while they try to get a handle on it. I know we all love to blame folk for shit, especially the 'Tories, but this is something that no country could have been prepared properly for.

And even though people took the piss, now you know why Mogg took that photo with a blank notepad on his desk. (He's still a twat though obviously). Â @SuperBacon was all the prune juice gone as well?

Factotum Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Quote Where do you think all the stockpiled food is going to end up? Connect the dots, man. Use a towel and or shower/bath. Spend your money on pasta. I think Matt Hancock will announce that on the Today show tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briefcase Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 I think the stockpiling thing bothers me the most about all this. The thought of people panic buying and there being a shortage of food and stuff. I heard yesterday that things like plastic gloves are out of stock for 3 months so places like food factories may struggle and that's when people start stockpiling.
